Strength training is essential for every sport. To mould great players in your team you need to give them good dose of exercise for their physique and mind. Generally there are four phases of strength training program in any sport, including baseball. The four phases of baseball strength training program are named as off-season, early pre-season, late pre-season and in-season. Here is a brief description about the four phases of strength training program.

• Off-Season – This time period is also called as the “closed season” wherein baseball is not played in a competitive mood.

• Early Pre-Season – The level of training in this session starts from general ones to intense training sessions

• Late Pre-Season – During this season, the training session becomes more intense because the competitive baseball season begins here. 

• In-Season – Now that the players have entered the season, it is the time to maintain the gain developed during the pre-season sessions. 

Each phase can also be subdivided into micro-cycles which are training lasting for one week. All these four sessions help the players of your team to concentrate into the sport seriously.
